Venues » Aughnabrack - 'The Hill of the Wolf'

This area is best known as the place where the last wolf in Ireland was shot around 1711.

The area is steeped in history, with ruins dating back to Stone Age times, although unfortunately very little can be seen today.

Our 143 Acre Aughnabrack Games Area sits high above Belfast, on the back of the Cavehill, and from it's summit one can see across the sea to Scotland on the one side and the Sperrin Mountains on the other.

Our Games Area contains the remains of a Celtic Fort, so has undoubtedly seen combat many times before, but never like this!!

It has Varied Terrain Guaranteed to Provide the Maximum Fun, Challenge and Exhilaration for your event.

We have 5 Gaming areas of differing terrain to challenge if the hardiest warriors.
